Topic: smeserver-support.noarch 0:2.0.0-7.el4.sme won't install

[mike_mattos]

A totally vanilla 7.4 install has all updates installed except smeserver-support.noarch 0:2.0.0-7.el4.sme, which fails with

Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-3.el4s1.5 is needed by package php-mysql
Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-3.el4s1.10 is needed by package php-cli

Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.29 is needed by package php-domxml

Everything seems to work,  is this update actually needed?

this is not a vanilla SME 7.4 as you have upgraded php to 5.1.6

the only way is to exclude smeserver-support from update, download it and install it with --nodeps flag, but it's not recommendend as you could have some unexpected side effects.

Strange, the machine reports MySql version 5!  My other 7.4 machines show version MySQL 4!

And it looks like the last change to mysql.ini was in 2007 !

rpm -qa --last | grep -i php

will remind you when you installed PHP5. I don't know why you are telling us about mysql version.

And it looks like the last change to mysql.ini was in 2007 ! 

Data on .ini files doesn't tell you anything about the version of the software installed (php and mysql).

[mike_mattos]

I wanted to use MySQL 5, so that would be what I installed as an add on, the php was probably added at the same time as a requisite.  Both were added in March 2007, strange that the stuck update is much more recent!

This is a frequently issue with those who have upgrade PHP. I solved making my own smeserver-support rpm. Please, don't flame me, this is the only fix I have found.

I was commented those line with obsoletes php-mysql, etc. in smeserver-support.spec

I will still do as you should not do that, this might have undesired side effects, which you perhaps can fix yourself, but not all users can. Please do not distribute that modified smeserver-support RPM. Thanks.

The package is required as it is used to obsolete packages as well as to implement all supported locale for your SME Server.

SO do we still have to migrate to SME 8 for a stable up to date MySQL/PHP set?

[Stefano]

No.. but you must know what are you doing and how to do it

That would be my advice.
